BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to an optical image lens assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to a compact optical image lens assembly applicable to electronic products.

2. Description of Related Art

In recent years, with the popularity of mobile products with camera functionalities, the demand for compact optical image lens assemblies is increasing. The sensor of a conventional photographing camera is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) image sensor or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. As advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compact optical image lens assemblies have gradually evolved toward higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for compact optical image lens assemblies featuring better image quality.

A conventional compact optical image lens assembly in a portable electronic product typically utilizes a three-element lens structure. Such a conventional optical image lens assembly has a first lens element with positive refractive power, a second lens element with negative refractive power and a third lens element with positive refractive power. The first, second and third lens elements are arranged in this order from an object-side to an image-side. While the three-element lens structure is compact, it is not able to produce high quality images.

Another conventional compact optical image lens assembly provides a four-element lens structure. The first lens element and the second lens element of the four-element lens structure are two glass spherical lens elements which are attached to each other to form a doublet lens for eliminating chromatic aberration. However, this lens structure requires a longer total optical track length caused by insufficient degrees of freedom in setting system parameters due to too many spherical lenses allocated. Moreover, it is not easy to attach the glass lenses, and thus the manufacturing process for forming the glass doublet lenses is difficult.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An optical image lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element and a fourth lens element. The optical image lens assembly further includes an image sensor located on the image plane.

The first lens element with positive refractive power provides partial refractive power for reducing the total track length of the optical image lens assembly. The first lens element has a convex object-side surface, and can have a convex image-side surface or a concave image-side surface. When the first lens element has a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, the refractive power thereof can be effectively enhanced, thus further reducing the total track length of the optical image lens assembly. When the first lens element has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, the astigmatism of the optical image lens assembly can be is corrected.

The second lens element with negative refractive power can correct the aberration generated from the first lens element and the chromatic aberration of the optical image lens assembly.

The third lens element with negative refractive power can cooperate with the second lens element for reducing the photosensitivity of the optical image lens assembly. The third lens element has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface so that the back focal length of the optical image lens assembly can be increased, thereby ensuring that there is a sufficient back focal length for the disposing of other elements.

The fourth lens element has a concave image-side surface so that the principal point of the optical image lens assembly can be positioned away from the image plane, and the total track length of the optical image lens assembly can be reduced so as to maintain the compact size of the optical image lens assembly. The fourth lens element can have a convex object-side surface for correcting the astigmatism and the high-order aberration. Furthermore, the fourth lens element can have positive refractive power or negative refractive power. When the fourth lens element has positive refractive power, the high-order aberration of the optical image lens assembly can be further corrected while enhancing the resolving power thereof. When the fourth lens element has negative refractive power, the principal point of the optical image lens assembly can be further positioned away from the image plane. Moreover, the fourth lens element has at least one inflection point formed on at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof. Therefore, the incident angle of the off-axis field of light on the image sensor can be effectively minimized and the aberration of the off-axis field can be corrected.

When an axial distance between the second lens element and the third lens element is T23, and an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, the following relationship is satisfied: 0<T34/T23<1.5.

Therefore, the arrangement of the third lens element can further reduce the track focal length of the optical image lens assembly. T23 and T34 can further satisfy the following relationship: 0<T34/T23<0.70.

When a focal length of the optical image lens assembly is f, and a focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following relationship is satisfied: −1.3<f/f3<−0.36.

Therefore, the focal length of the third lens element can reduce the photosensitivity of the optical image lens assembly effectively.

f and f3 can further satisfy the following relationship: −1.0<f/f3<−0.36.

Moreover, f and 13 can further satisfy the following relationship: −1.0<f/f3<−0.5.

When the focal length of the second lens element is f2, and the focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.35<f2/f3<2.5.

Therefore, the refractive power of the second lens element can be controlled for reducing the photosensitivity of the optical image lens assembly.

f2 and f3 can further satisfy the following relationship: 0.50<f2/f3<1.8.

When the Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, and the Abbe number of the third lens element is V3, the following relationship is satisfied: 23<V3−V2<42.

Therefore, the ability for correcting the chromatic aberration of the optical image lens assembly can be enhanced.

When the focal length of the optical image lens assembly is f, and the focal length of the second lens element is f2, the following relationship is satisfied: −0.93<f/f2<−0.15.

Therefore, the focal length of the second lens element can correct the aberration of the optical image lens assembly.

When the focal length of the optical image lens assembly is f, and a focal length of the first lens element is f1, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.95<f/f1<1.65.

Therefore, the total track length of the optical image lens assembly can be controlled by the refractive power of the first lens element, and the spherical aberration thereof can also be avoided.

When the focal length of the optical image lens assembly is f, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.2<R6/f<0.9.

Therefore, the curvature of the image-side surface of the third lens element can correct the astigmatism of the optical image lens assembly.

When the Abbe number of the first lens element is V1, and the Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, the following relationship is satisfied: 30<V1−V2<45.

Therefore, the ability for correcting the chromatic aberration of the optical image lens assembly can be enhanced.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is R1, and the focal length of the optical image lens assembly is f, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.25<R1/f<0.55.

Therefore, the total track length of optical image lens assembly can be further reduced so as to maintain the compact size thereof.

When a half of a diagonal length of an effective photosensitive area of the image sensor is Imgh, and an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image plane is TTL, the following relationship is satisfied: TTl/ImgH<2.1.

Therefore, the total track length of the optical image lens assembly can be reduced, so as to maintain the compact size of the optical image lens assembly. As a result, the optical image system may be applied to lightweight and portable electronic products.

According to the optical image lens assembly of the present disclosure, when the lens element has a convex surface, this indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is convex, and when the lens element has a concave surface, this indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is concave.

According to the optical image lens assembly of the present disclosure, the lens element can be made of glass material or plastic material. When the lens element is made of glass material, the range over which the refractive power of the optical image lens assembly can be set may be increased. When the lens element is made of plastic material, the cost of manufacture can be effectively reduced. Moreover, the surface of the lens element can be aspheric, so that it is easier to make the surface into other non-spherical shapes. As a result, more controllable variables are obtained, the aberration is reduced and the number of required lens elements is reduced. Therefore, the total track length of the optical image lens assembly can be reduced.

According to the optical image lens assembly of the present disclosure, the optical image lens assembly can include at least one stop for reducing stray light while retaining high image quality, such as an aperture stop. Furthermore, the position of an aperture stop within the optical image lens assembly can be arbitrarily placed in front of the entire optical image lens assembly or within the optical image lens assembly depending on the preference of the designer of the optical system, in order to achieve the desirable optical features or higher image quality produced from the optical image lens assembly.
